But Not For Me
If blood would flow
When fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colours
Of the evening sun
Tommorow's rain
Will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetimes argument
But nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all us born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star x2
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are x2
--Scatting solo(s)--
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star x2
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are x2
(Repeat chorus)
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
(Repeat to end...)
When fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colours
Of the evening sun
Tommorow's rain
Will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetimes argument
But nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all us born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star x2
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are x2
--Scatting solo(s)--
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star x2
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are x2
(Repeat chorus)
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
(Repeat to end...)
